The Fold: Ingression PC

The Fold: Ingression is a thriller action adventure game developed by the independent, one-man Audvyr Studio founded by Stian Willums - co-creator of the bestselling game Through the Woods. The author was inspired by old Norwegian legends and the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Plot

The main protagonist of The Fold: Ingression is Amund Vreim. With the help of his father, the young Norwegian employed himself in an old stave church in Telemark, southern Norway. Upon arrival, the protagonist discovers nothing is as it seems; the church and its surroundings hide dark secrets, causing the protagonist to wake up in an increasingly stranger world every morning. Amund himself also starts changing, gaining supernatural powers he must use to survive and solve the church's mystery.

Mechanics

The gameplay of The Fold: Ingression is observed from the first-person perspective (FPP). Throughout the game we can traverse the church and its surroundings, but also other mystical locations. During exploration we must carefully look around for clues to shed new light on the unfolding events, as well as to progress the story. We must also be wary, as the sinister force trailing us doesn't approve of our presence in this place. Fortunately, Amund isn't helpless, wielding supernatural abilities granted to him by his stay near the church. He can use them against enemies or during exploration, for example, to open locked doors.

Technical aspects

The Fold: Ingression's visuals are decent enough, not deviating from the standards prevalent in the genre; the atmospheric locations are especially impressive.
